Rebirth 93: Break off the engagement at the beginning and marry Bai Fumei

Damn it, Zhang Boyang was stunned on the spot, how could he go back? At that time, my aunt said that this object did not look genuine, so I thought it was a fake. Who would have thought that her aunt's words had this meaning.

Chen Yang chuckled beside him. Zhang Boyang was considered a person in the antique shop, but it was ridiculous that he could make such a simple mistake.

"This Fang Xi is indeed inconsistent with the craftsmanship of the Qing Dynasty." Zhu Yujie explained from the side. Chen Yang touched Ma Yunfeng with his arm and motioned to Ma Yunfeng to take out the Fang Xi.

Of course Ma Yunfeng understood what Chen Yang meant. If he could be recognized by Zhu Yujie in public, it would be of great significance.

Ma Yunfeng placed Fang Xi neatly on a table next to him, and then smiled and motioned to Zhu Yujie for appraisal.

Zhu Yujie came closer, picked up Fang Xi and looked at it, "The squatting dragon on this Fang Xi should be a Ming Dynasty craft, and judging from the clear color of the jade, it is also consistent with the time from the Ming Dynasty to the present. Through From these two points, we can determine that Fang Xi is at least an object from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties."

Having said this, Zhu Yujie put Fang Xi back on the table, and then glanced at Chen Yang.

"Chen Yang, I know you have really good eyesight, and the few things you missed have made you famous in just one year."

As she spoke, the expression on Zhu Yujie's face became serious, "But you still have to abide by the rules in the industry. When inferring the age of an object, if it is in a cross-time period, we must not be sure, and the age should be stated later. , This can ensure the interests of customers. Rather than moving forward in time like you."

"Take this square seal as an example. It is indeed difficult to determine the age, but through analysis of the shape and jade material, it is roughly an object from the late Ming and early Qing dynasties."

"From Yongle to the late Ming and early Qing Dynasties, there was a gap of more than two hundred years. How can you directly date it!"

When Ma Yunfeng heard this, he couldn't help but frown. He understood Zhu Yujie's words. According to Zhu Yujie's theory, Luo Dapao was right at the auction. This was an early Qing Dynasty object.

Song Qingyun, who was standing next to Chen Yang, frowned slightly after hearing what Zhu Yujie said. She also knew in her heart that Zhu Yujie was making excuses for her nephew Zhang Boyang.

But this is a good excuse. Judging from the characteristics of Fang Xi, although it is not as conservative as Zhu Yujie said, there is not much evidence to prove that it is an object from the Yongle year.

"Haha," Zhang Boyang laughed again at this time, pointed at Chen Yang and said, "Chen Yang, what else do you have to say? Now my aunt can't even date it, but you said it was an object from the Yongle period of the Ming Dynasty. Are you lying? What!"

Zhu Yujie turned back and glared at Zhang Boyang. If it weren't for you, there would be so many things going on. She could have gone back at this time, but she is still talking nonsense here.

When Zhang Boyang saw Zhu Yujie angry, he shrunk his neck and stood in the back, not daring to talk nonsense. Chen Yang walked to the table, reached out and picked up Fang Xi, and glanced at Zhang Boyang behind Zhu Yujie, "Mr. Zhu's education is very right. It is really not in line with the rules of the antique shop to rashly determine the era."

"But..." Chen Yang took Fang Xi and looked at Zhu Yujie, thinking secretly in his heart for a few seconds, and finally said slowly, "Mr. Zhu, if you can understand the Sanskrit on it, you will definitely support it." That’s what I said.”

"Sanskrit?" Zhu Yujie was stunned and looked Chen Yang up and down, "Do you know Sanskrit?"

Not to mention Zhu Yujie, even Song Qingyun was stunned after hearing this. When did Chen Yang know Sanskrit? I have known him for almost a year, and I have never heard of this kid knowing Sanskrit!

"Bah!" Zhang Boyang spat at Chen Yang, "I'm not afraid of flashing my tongue when I talk big. If you understand Sanskrit, I'll eat this Fang Xi!"

"Don't eat it, I'm afraid you won't be able to digest it!" Chen Yang looked at Zhang Boyang with his arms crossed and a smirk, "I found that you didn't take advantage of me enough. This was obviously bought by Boss Ma, why don't you give it to me?" Just eat with the money!”

"I...I was just making an analogy!"

Chen Yang stopped talking to Zhang Boyang, took Fang Xi in his hand, and nodded at Zhu Yujie, "I'm not talented, I know a little about Sanskrit!"

Immediately afterwards, Chen Yang pointed to the inscriptions on it and explained, "The surface of this seal is engraved with three lines of nine Sanskrit characters in Zhuwen Lanza style, which are Buddhist mantras."

"The nine characters read from top to bottom from left to right are: o?arapacanadhih?hu?. The first seven characters are the wisdom mantra of Manjushri Bodhisattva, the eighth character is the seed character of Amitabha, and the ninth character is the word used at the end of all mantras. , the Chinese character is usually transliterated and written as "Hum", which means "Vajra Heart" and means to pray for success. That is, you must rely on the power of the Buddha to obtain "enlightenment", achieve everything, save life, and finally achieve the desire to become a Buddha. ."

After speaking, Chen Yang put Fang Xi on the table and looked at Zhu Yujie with a smile. Zhu Yujie frowned slightly, not knowing whether Chen Yang really knew Sanskrit or whether he was pretending to know Sanskrit.

Zhang Boyang rolled his eyes a few times and stood up from behind Zhu Yujie, "Chen Yang, stop fooling people! Let's not talk about whether you understand Sanskrit or not. Even if you understand Sanskrit, let me ask you, what you just said is consistent with What does Ming Yongle have to do with it?"

Chen Yang shrugged his shoulders slightly and glanced at Zhang Boyang with contempt, "Ignorance is terrible! Listen, I will explain it to you!"

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang cleared his throat, "Since the seal is engraved in Sanskrit, we can know one thing. This should be a gift from the palace to a certain eminent monk in Tibet."

"Let's observe Fang Xi. Fang Xi has obvious characteristics of the Ming Dynasty. Then we have to think about which eminent Tibetan monks were summoned by the emperor during the Ming Dynasty."

"According to historical records, there were three great siddhas from Tibet who visited China in the early Ming Dynasty, spanning the Yong and Xuan dynasties. These three great siddhas were all revered as "Dharma Kings" and given honors by the emperor at that time." These three are: the Dharma King of the Karma Kagyu Sect, the Mahayana Dharma King of the Sakya Sect, and the Dharma King of the Gelug Sect. The specific Dharma King to whom this official seal was given needs to be analyzed through Sanskrit. . "

Having said this, Chen Yang paused slightly, "I just said the meaning of the Sanskrit content. Manjushri Bodhisattva has a high status in both Han and Tibetan Buddhism. In the Tibetan Buddhist system, especially the Sakya sect The belief in Manjushri is the most typical.”

"The Sakya sect was founded in 1073, and there have been the famous "Five Sakya Patriarchs" in history. Among them, the fourth Sakya Patriarch, Sabangonga Gyaltsen, was summoned by the rulers of the Yuan Dynasty to Liangzhou in 1247 to submit to Mongolia. The Sakya Sect was founded in 1279. The Fifth Patriarch Phagpa was a senior official in the central government of the Yuan Dynasty. He was greatly favored by the emperor of the Yuan Dynasty and was named "National Preceptor", "Emperor Preceptor", and "Great Dharma King". The Sakya Sect also became the main influence of the Yuan Dynasty in Tibet. The representative of the rule laid the foundation for the central government of the Yuan Dynasty to exercise administrative management over Tibet after , and Tibet was officially under the direct jurisdiction of the central government."

"With the demise of the Yuan Dynasty and the establishment of the Ming Dynasty, in order to maintain the unification of Tibet, the Ming Dynasty court continued to canonize the Tibetan local political kings. In the eighth year of Yongle, that is, 1410, Ming Chengzu heard that Gongga Zha, the grandson of the fourth Sakya ancestor Xi's Buddhist teachings were profound, so he sent officials to welcome him and arrived in Nanjing in 1413."

"The Emperor Chengzu of the Ming Dynasty named him the "King of the Mahayana Dharma" and bestowed upon him an edict to lead the monks and protect Sakyamuni's teachings, a gold seal, and thousands of golden wheels, cassocks, flags, pommels, umbrellas, etc. inlaid with various treasures. Treasures, these objects are currently preserved in the Tibet Museum. At the same time, the Tibet Museum also houses a white jade squatting dragon seal that was given to the Dharma King Karmapa by Emperor Yongle of the Ming Dynasty. It has the same shape as this one, but the seal is different."

After finishing speaking, Chen Yang clapped his hands, placed Fang Xi on the table, and shrugged his shoulders, "The craftsmanship characteristics of the object, coupled with historical records, and comparison with Sanskrit and similar objects. From this, we can deduce It turns out that this square seal should be a gift from the Yongle Palace to the "Great Chen Dharma King" Gongga Tashi, which means that the age of this square seal should be 1413, how simple it is to date!"

After Chen Yang finished speaking, he looked at Zhu Yujie and Zhang Boyang with a smile. Zhang Boyang glared at Chen Yang, how did this guy change? Not only did he understand Sanskrit, but he also knew so many things. He couldn't have memorized all the historical documents!

Song Qingyun looked at Chen Yang from behind and couldn't help cursing in his heart: "It's easy for you, uncle, you are peeling off silk and cocoons here. This is not appraising antiques, it is clearly solving a case!"
